TWITTER:TO CHARGE OR NOT TO CHARGE

Oct 10 (Reuters) – “Twitter Inc's shares slumped more than 13 percent in early trading on Monday after a weekend Bloomberg report that top potential bidders, including Salesforce.com Inc , had lost interest in making a bid for the company.”

“How is this app still free?!!!” is a popular reaction by Twitter users, often to a hilarious and sometimes ridiculous tweet. Although, simply used as a rhetoric expressing the user’s disbelief at his or her easy and free access to entertainment via the online social networking service, it REALLY does beg the question, “How is this app still free?” Evident, from the quote above Twitter has been having a rough year. Struggling with stagnant user growth and continuous losses, its future seems even bleaker. So why aren’t Twitter users charged a small annual subscription fee to help solve Twitter’s seemingly unending problems? What are your thoughts?

 

They should charge a monthly fee, it might clean up some of that crap (i.e. trolls, spam and nut jobs) so the app will be worth my time again.

"That was basically college for me, just ya know, fuckin' tourin' with Widespread Panic over the USA."
 

It depends. I feel like if the benefit to me far outweighed what I was being charged, I will. I never though I'd pay a monthly fee to listen to music or watch movies when there were bootleg options but alas - Netflix, Hulu, Spotify, Apple Music.

 

I haven't used twitter in over a year. I don't know anyone who still does. It's a dying media brand. It didn't turn into your online passport like Facebook and isn't interesting like Instagram or funny like Snapchat. It's just a circle jerk of media and PR types. Pointless.
